Belltech drop kit..HEADSUP!!!!

hey guys just letting you know stylintrucks.com has a free set of shocks if you buy a drop kit or a free shock if you but three others.

now to the questions:
1.belltech or eibach? was gonna get an eibach 2/4 but the belltech will be much cheaper because of the free shocks.

2.i wanted a 2/4 but now the 3/5 is looking pretty good. what do you guys think? http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts.as...familyid=23553

3.the 3/5 is a flip kit so would i have to notch the frame? and ride difference? pros? cons?

Sry for all the questions i just want to do it right the first time around lol
Thanks

Personally I wouldn't do a flip kit since the stock springs are so soft.

flip kits are also weak and encourage axle wrap

I would do a 2/3 and then grab a 2" shackle to add with it

The Girlfriends truck is sitting at 4/5 and have not had any issues with the flip kit out back at all no axle wrap either.

3/5 drop by beltech

i just purchased a 3/5 drop kit from beltech and was avut to install it when i noticed something on the instruction manual
that made me a bit concern....
it said " rear axle may have some vibration" does anybody out there have any info on this kit
that i should be aware of before i install it... i was thinking to buy the 3/3 kit from eibach and jus using the 2" shackle

What truck do you have?

You can use shims or if it has a 2 piece drive shaft use the carrier bearing relocator.

Its coming close to a year now with the lowering kit in. All we did was throw in the lowering kit and the angle was right. The kit cam e with a spacer for the tranny that we installed.
